Influence of microwave treatment on mechanical behaviour of compact basalts under different confining pressures
The realisation of microwave-induced fracturing of hard rocks has potential significance for microwave-assisted mechanical rock fracturing and stress release in deep rock masses. In this context, compact basalts were treated by microwave heating in a multi-mode cavity at a frequency of 2450 MHz, and...
